Dancing With The Stars: Morning after Father’s Night on Mother’s Day

The kind of round object that Kerry GAA star Aidan O’Mahony usually grasps rarely glistens more than his five All-Ireland medals but Sunday night was different as he waltzed away with the inaugural glitterball trophy to win the final of the first series of RTÉ’s Dancing With The Stars.

It was Father’s Night on Mother’s Day for Aidan as he dedicated the win to his baby daughter, Lucia, who was born less than three weeks ago.

“This programme has been amazing,” he said, on being declared the winner. “It’s blown the country away. I’m delighted to be part of it. It’s not about the glitterball; it’s about everyone else here. Thank you to everyone.”
